Joe has a new indie deal, a new moniker (check the last name) and apparently is now a new man. But not really. Even though some obvious things have changed, by and large, Joe's latest release is the same comforting, smooth R&B that he's become known and respected for. Tracks like the silky ballad, "Friends Don't Let Friends" and the mid-tempo, "Man In Your Life" shows Joe hasn't lost a beat and still loves singing to the ladies about why he's a better catch than their man. New Man is an easy listen from a veteran crooner. -boogie
